Figures in a thatched-roof dwelling, with children, a dog, garden plants, and a stream
Detailed Description
A vertical image depicts a scene with figures in and around a dwelling, framed by gold-flecked borders at the top and bottom. The upper portion features a gold-flecked background with stylized cloud-like shapes in brown and gold, from which green foliage emerges, possibly indicating distant trees or hills. Below this, two thatched roofs are visible, one on the left and one on the right, forming parts of a house. Inside the house, on a green mat, a woman wearing a light blue robe with a white pattern sits facing right, looking down at a baby in a woven basket. The baby is dressed in a brown garment. To the right of the baby, another woman in a brown patterned robe with blue accents sits facing left, also looking towards the baby. A small brown bowl and a pestle-like object are on the green mat near the first woman. Outside the house, on a light brown ground, two children walk from left to right. The child on the left wears a red patterned robe, and the child on the right wears a pink patterned robe and holds a fan. A small white dog with brown spots walks in front of them. To the right of the children, a gnarled pine tree with green needles stands. Further right, a blue and white stream flows horizontally across the lower mid-section of the image. In the lower left, a small tree with a gnarled trunk and red blossoms grows from the light brown ground. The bottom of the image is a gold-flecked border, mirroring the top.
